Topic: Error Loading External Link

[Johnmac]

I added an external link to my home page called "Scanner Feed". when I click on it, I get a "page not found error" and this error message "net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT"

The main page is "scannorthcounty.net" and the external link is "Scanner Feed"

Tried opening the page in both Chrome and IE 11.

Is there something I need to add to the external link?

Thanks,

John

Hi John,
it is basically impossible to help you if you do not provide link to your site

Assuming scannorthcounty.net is the site, then the Scanner link there has HTML of

Code: [Select]

<li><a href="http://scannorthcounty.net/scanner/scanner.html/" title="Scanner Feed">Scanner Feed</a></li>
You need to remove the trailing / on the link so the scanner.html page can be loaded like

Code: [Select]

<li><a href="http://scannorthcounty.net/scanner/scanner.html" title="Scanner Feed">Scanner Feed</a></li>
N.B. : the 'scanner.html' page in that directory is empty (no content)

Ken,

I did try it both ways with the trailing / and without. At any rate it is now working and again I thank you for your assistance.

Not sure why that file was empty, fortunately I had a backup.

Thanks again,

John
